This recently opened establishment deserves a slow and thorough visit, as it provides a first-hand account of national and interna- tional history. The collection is a miscellany divided into thematic sections, logically grouped together to portray the events of Salò, from the achievements of the Venetian era to the dark times of the Italian Social Republic. The “Gallery of Characters” room is dedicated to characters from Salò, including Anton Maria Mucchi (1871– 1945), who rebuilt the historical and cultural identity of the city. THE CENTURIES OF VENICE This is the era of Salò’s supremacy on the Community of Riviera, or “Magnificent Motherland” during the time of the Serenissima (the Republic of Venice), 1426-1797. The demographic data is particularly significant: halfway through the 1400s, there were 3 thousand inhabitants – the same as in Turin and Treviso. A shrewd cultural and artistic policy contributed to the city becom- ing a capital, as evidenced by the treasures acquired by the Mu- 8 ••• ••• 9 Museum of Salò Personalities, eras, heydays, tragedies, science, art nicipality for the Church, rebuilt from 1453. Among the artifacts worth seeing at the MuSa are illuminated manuscripts, such as an Atlantic Bible of the Roman school dating back to the early decades of the 12th century, four Veronese chorals from the late fourteenth century and the five leather bindings with brass fittings from 1524, as well as paintings commissioned for the palaces of the Municipality and the Commissioner of Venice. The perspectival display of violins reveals that we are now in the room dedicated to Gasparo da Salò (1540-1609), a famous violin-maker – a master of his craft acknowledged by his suc- cessors and by collectors such as D’Annunzio, who devised the famous Luthier Cup created by Renato Brozzi (1924), which is exhibited here. Gasparo’s emotionally-charged Contrabbasso Biondo (1590) can be enjoyed here by the public on a weekly basis. Opening times Open daily from 10am AMONG THE EMPIRES AND MITTELEUROPA to 6pm closed on Mondays With the fall of the Venetian Republic (1797) and the end of Aus- trian rule (1859), Salò lost its secular supremacy in favour of an Ticket prices institutional, urban and social transformation. € 8.00 full price Various items bear witness to this period, including Napoleon’s € 5.00 concessions camp bed (1802), which is exhibited thanks to a partnership € 4.00 concessions with the Napoleonic Museum in Rivoli Veronese, and the Garib- for schools aldi heirlooms donated by the Museo Storico del Nastro Azzurro and various gratuities (which can be visited on the floor below), as well as the Mutual Aid Society of Salò.

Enter with caution, unless you are medical students...! The weather Observatory is another very interesting aspect of the Museum – the seismic and exposure tools date back to nineteenth-and early twentieth-century heritage, and include the reorganization of the Seismology Observatory. ITALIAN SOCIAL REPUBLIC The historical trail of Salò ends appropriately with a set of testi- monials of the 600 days of the Social Republic, with images and words of the protagonists, including two partisans and two repub- da GIOTTO licans. At the entrance, there is a video showing images of CSR a DE CHIRICO buildings, some of which have become well-known tourist places.

In Peschiera del Garda, fishing was an economic activity, the basis of nutrition, and a style of life up until World War II. Indeed, it was this abundance of fish that inspired the name Piscaria, which the Lombards substituted for the town’s previous Roman toponym, Arilica. Today, memory and material culture are well preserved in the Mu- seum of Fishing and local Traditions, in the Radetzky Room of the artillery barracks at Porta Verona. There are three sectors for visi- tors: the pictures, objects and memorabilia on display; the impas- sioned stories of Rolando Righetti, Giordano Turina and Enza Lo- nardi of the Amici del Gondolin Association; the fascinating book written by Gianluigi Miele, Il pesce, la festa e la penitenza (Fish, Celebrations and Penance) published by Cierre edizioni. It is an emblematic account of the importance of the town of Peschiera in the fishing economy, thanks to its lake and riverside location, where the Mincio river flows out of Lake Garda. 12 ••• ••• 13 Peschiera and fishing THE LUGO BROTHERS’ ESTABLISHMENT “At the end of the nineteenth century and in the subsequent decades, there was an establishment in Peschiera which, in ad- dition to acting as a hatchery, collected and preserved fish for commercial purposes. It was located at the mouth of the Mincio river, so the tanks, which contained the living fish delivered daily by fishermen, were fed by fresh water from the river, which is es- sential for the survival of trout. The most important feature of the plant, as remembered still by the elderly townspeople, was the ice-making machine, which was probably unique on the Lake at that time. The fish went to market first in Milan, but could also reach as far as France, Austria and Switzerland...” – where the Opening times most prized fish such as trout, eels and lake carp were exported The Museum is open – while “bleak, pilchard, tench and carp were sold in Verona, Pe- Saturdays, schiera or other nearby towns.” Sundays and holidays 10am-12.30 and 4-6pm, July and August till 10pm INTERESTING ARTIFACTS Ticket prices At the very entrance of the Museum we find some unusual ob- Admission free jects, such as the Garda Gondolino (re-designed version) and the Anguilara from the late 1800s, recovered from the seabed below To book tours tel.: the bridge of Voltoni in 2007.

    WRITTEN QUESTION E-3503/07 by Donata Gottardi (PSE) and Sepp Kusstatscher (Verts/ALE) to the Commission Subject: Quarry and cement production plant at Caprino Veronese and Rivoli Veronese This question is designed to draw the Commission's attention once again to the project to extend the quarry and build a cement factory in the municipality of Caprino Veronese in the province of Verona. The earlier question E-0752/07 explained that the area concerned borders on the site of Community interest SCI No IT3210022 and the special protection area SPA No IT3210041 and that a cement factory would have an extremely adverse effect on the environment and the lives of the local community. The present situation is that a screening study of the environmental impact on the SCI and the SPA carried out by the company that owns the quarry has been submitted to the province of Verona. The screening concluded that there is no need for an environmental impact assessment because 'it is unlikely that there would be significant effects on the Natura 2000 site 'Monte Baldo East' (SCI/SPA IT 3210041)'. Does not the Commission consider that the local authorities involved - municipality, province and region - should demand that an environmental impact assessment be carried out in accordance with Directive 85/337/EEC1 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (the EIA Directive, as amended by Directive 97/11/EC2 and by Directive 2003/35/EC3) with regard to this project to extend a quarry and build a cement factory?

The project takes place with the cooperation of both municipal and state museums, gathering together all the coins found in the region or belonging to historical collections. The coin finds are published in the multi-volume series of the Ritrovamenti monetali di età romana in Veneto, and the entire numismatic heritage of the museums of Veneto is catalogued in a numismatic computer database that will be available on the regional website. This paper offers some examples of the filing scheme for both the volumes and the database, illustrating research tools that can be used to find a specimen or to process data for further studies. Some results of these projects are also shown in the paper. The publication plan for coin finds and numismatic research in the town of Verona is also illustrated, in particular the forthcoming volume covering the coins found in the historical centre. Since 1986 the Centro Regionale di Catalogazione dei Beni Numismatici del Veneto (Regional Centre for Cataloguing the Numismatic Heritage in Veneto) has promoted a wide programme of cataloguing and processing data concerning coin finds in the region of Veneto, supervised by Prof.

  • WRITING ABOUT EARLY RENAISSANCE WORKS of ART in VENICE and FLORENCE (1550-1800) Laura-Maria
    BETWEEN TASTE AND HISTORIOGRAPHY: WRITING ABOUT EARLY RENAISSANCE WORKS OF ART IN VENICE AND FLORENCE (1550-1800) Laura-Maria Popoviciu A dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Combined Historical Studies The Warburg Institute University of London 2014 1 I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own _______________________________ Laura-Maria Popoviciu 2 ABSTRACT My dissertation is an investigation of how early Renaissance paintings from Venice and Florence were discussed and appraised by authors and collectors writing in these cities between 1550 and 1800. The variety of source material I have consulted has enabled me to assess and to compare the different paths pursued by Venetian and Florentine writers, the type of question they addressed in their analyses of early works of art and, most importantly, their approaches to the re-evaluation of the art of the past. Among the types of writing on art I explore are guidebooks, biographies of artists, didactic poems, artistic dialogues, dictionaries and letters, paying particular attention in these different genres to passages about artists from Guariento to Giorgione in Venice and from Cimabue to Raphael in Florence. By focusing, within this framework, on primary sources and documents, as well as on the influence of art historical literature on the activity of collecting illustrated by the cases of the Venetian Giovanni Maria Sasso and the Florentine Francesco Maria Niccolò Gabburri, I show that two principal approaches to writing about the past emerged during this period: the first, adopted by many Venetian authors, involved the aesthetic evaluation of early Renaissance works of art, often in comparison to later developments; the second, more frequent among Florentine writers, tended to document these works and place them in their historical context, without necessarily making artistic judgements about them.

  • Cantine Lenotti Veneto
    CANTINE LENOTTI VENETO According to an enological map dated 1906, the name LENOTTI was already known in the past for the production of the classical wine Bardolino. At that time the farm sold wines exclusively in butts or demijohns. In the following years until 1968 the farm constantly increased its production, making wine from local grapes and supplying the numerous bottlers of the neighborhood. Since 1968, the farm has been bottling and selling the wines directly. From 1971 to 2004 the farm and its facilities have undergone several enlargements. The most important of them was carried out in 2004/2005 with the modernization of the vinification, ageing equipement and the bottling line. At present the farm is run by the family Lenotti. All its members are involved in the winery: Father Giancarlo is the oenologist , production manager and facilities supervisor; mother Marina handles sales for the home market; and their son Claudio is export manager. The farm CANTINE LENOTTI is situated in Bardolino, a town in the North of Italy, 25 Km from Verona, on the banks of Lake Garda. Lake Garda, in the province of Verona, is the largest lake in Italy. It is famous all over the world for its mild climate and its natural and artistic beauties that attract a great number of tourists all through the year. The beneficial effect that the lake exerts on the climate and the morphological features of the hills surrounding the banks of the lake have favored the development of a flourishing agriculture based almost exclusively on vine and olive growing.
